Every Guy's Style Guide For Fall 2019

Labor Day is approaching and summer is almost over. Instead of mourning the loss of your sun-kissed glow, Summer Fridays, and outdoor day drinking, get stoked to gear up with fresh fall duds that’ll make you look (and feel) fresh for the new season.

Let’s be honest, no one enjoys wearing any clothing in the sweltering heat. When it comes to summer dressing, less is more, but when that fall breeze hits, it’s the perfect time to level-up your style with a cool layering look. Yes, you’ll have to store away your go-to flip-flops, but now you can finally throw on the latest sneaker releases and on-trend Chelsea boots to step into the new season feeling like a total boss.

Choosing the right fall clothes can be a daunting task for any guy, but thankfully, we’re here to help you navigate the trends of the season to score the best styles for every guy’s budget. To help you plan the coolest outfits for every occasion this fall, check out our ultimate fall style guide.

At the Office

Sharp style doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. With new innovations in technical fabrics, many of your favorite fashion brands this season are using fabrics with stretch and moisture-wicking technology for their tailored classics. Finally, men can look polished and move with ease throughout their busy day.

Sweatpants might not be acceptable office attire, but consider slim trousers engineered with technical fabrics to be the next best thing. When it comes to footwear, minimalist leather sneakers provide the comfort you need when you’re on your feet from 9-to-5 with a sophisticated look. What about a work bag that can hold all your gear, but won’t embarrass you in the boardroom? Grown-up backpacks are a thing, and yes, they can fit your laptop, gym sneakers, and so much more.

At the Gym

When the weather cools down, a long-sleeve athletic shirt is a must-have for your outdoor runs. While you’re at it, score some cool compression leggings to sport under your workout shorts (or even rock them sans shorts) for added warmth, without feeling constrained.

On the Weekend

Any comfortable clothes will do for binge watching Netflix in bed the whole weekend, but if you’re heading out with the guys for some fun fall activities, there are plenty of comfortable options to flex for top-notch style.

Considering that fall weather can be truly unpredictable, stylish water-resistant outerwear and footwear will make sure you’re comfortable, no matter what Mother Nature has in store.

No weekend look would be complete without a comfy-cozy hoodie, so opt for a cool retro-inspired one to give your ratty college sweatshirt a much needed break. However, that doesn’t mean you should sport a full sweatsuit. While all your friends are in denim jeans, you’ll be sure to standout in the crowd with pants that are built for comfort with optimum style.

For a Night Out

Have a hot date or a night on the town with friends, but have no clue what to wear? This simple outfit formula is a sure bet for style swagger. Take your everyday flattering T-shirt and jeans, but give them a major boost of style with a luxe-looking jacket and fashion-forward footwear.

Outerwear can be expensive, so splurge on a reversible bomber to get double your money’s worth. A classic bomber looks good on a man of any age and the hint of shine instantly elevates your basic outfit for evening.

Yes, Chelsea boots are a trend this season (again) and we’re here for it. The sleek boot adds some edge to any pants in your closet, from slim-fit pants to distressed denim jeans. It’s a no-brainer choice to slide on some killer style.
